Time takes a toll on even the best pipes, so pipeline repair is a natural part of pipelining.
While they served us well, ruined pipelines have no space in our lives. They can bring mold into our homes through water damage and leave sewage on our lawns.
Damaged pipes are not just a danger to property and landscaping; they are also detrimental to your health. Rust and dirt can follow leaks and find their way into our drinking water, causing potential harm.
Four Reasons to Schedule an Inspection for Pipeline Repairs
Pipelines are discreet, so it can be tricky to notice leaks and faults. Keep an eye out for these telltale signs that it is time to check your pipes:
Discolored Water
One of the first signs of a damaged pipeline is the color of the water. You can identify a corroded line by the rusty brown or red color of the water.
When you notice this discoloration, rust may have already coated the line’s interior. Never use or drink discolored water, as it can be hazardous to your health.
Mold and Water Damage
Due to age and corrosion, old pipes weaken and become susceptible to cracks. As high-pressure water continues to flow through the pipelines, those cracks let water out of the holes.
Pipe leaks can cause water to accumulate in walls and ceilings and lead to mold infestation. When mold is in your home, it releases spores into the air and can affect your health.
If you notice moldy or water-damaged walls, you should immediately call professional pipe repair services to look at the problem.
Sudden Greenery and Sewage Smells
Tree roots naturally grow toward the moisture from underground pipes. As they inch toward the pipeline, roots will grow around and even inside the line. This situation is called root intrusion.
If the pipe is a sewer line, the root intrusion will cause sewage to rise to the surface of your lawn, fertilizing weeds and bushes. Call for a pipeline inspection if you notice odd vegetation in your yard.
Sewage odors around your home clearly indicate that your sewer line is damaged and leaking. Sewage is biohazardous, and its cleanup is challenging and costly. So, call professional pipeline repair services and have them inspect your sewer line for leaks.
Drain Problems
Drain issues signal damaged pipelines because they indicate an obstruction within the drain or pipe. A clear sign is a sound of flowing water, even when the tap is off, or a gurgling sound from your drainage.
Delaying an inspection can lead to burst lines and water damage, so be sure to schedule a video pipe inspection if you face drain problems.
